New reclamation method at Pulau Tekong

A land reclamation method historically used by the Dutch is to reduce Singapore’s reliance on sand, and will be first implemented at Pulau Tekong. An additional land measuring 810 ha, roughly about the size of two Toa Payoh towns will be reclaimed at the north-western tip of Pulau Tekong using a new method that is less reliant on sand. The Polder Development Method is also has minimal impact on marine lives.
